The society of Norfolk is refined, simple,
hospitable and Of great natural cultiva-
ton. College bred men abound, not
merely in the professional walks of life
but in the business and manufacturing
pursuits. The war brought all TO a com
mon level of poverty. That fact has gen.
Grated in all a common necessity and pride
of industry. By general consent, every
social occasion of festivity in Norfolk
closes ut midnight, because, you KNOW"
they will say, "our young men have to
go to work early in the morning" These
young men are clerks, pursers, agents,
supercargoes, superintendent, junior part
ners in firms, or what not, and do not
crowd the law, medicine and theology.
as do their contemporaries in northern
cities, seeking sham gentihty at the ex-
pense of limited capacity, are wont to do.

A SHAMEFUL SCANDAL.
the Probable Innocent Victim Of
Another Woman's Jealous Wrath.


About eight years ago, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Brown, then of this city, re-
moved to Eldon, Iowa, town on the
southwestern line of the c., R. |. & P,
the husband accepting work in the rail-
road shops there. During her residence
in Rock Island Mrs Brown was highly
respected by all who knew her, but now
she is made the victim of another WON
ans wrath and jealousy. Society in that
railway town is said to be considerably
agitated over the alleged elopement of
Mrs. Brown and neighbor BY the name
of W. II. Roberts. Mrs Roberts is frank
in admitting that her husband has DESERT
ed her, and publicly asserts that he had
often said that il he ever left Eldon it
would be in company with Mrs. Jennie
Brown. Mrs. Roberts spun the follow
ing yarn to a reporter last week
II married Mr.. Roberts in FIT Madi-
son. fifteen years ago. He is my second
husband. His married life with me has
never been harmonious, as he has al
ways compelled me to make the living
for the family and myself | am now
entirely destitute of money and provis-
ions, and were 1t not for my children,
who help me continually, ! would be
compelled to 60 to the poor house, as |
am In very feeble health and cannot
work for my living. do not want to
see him prosecuted. and hope he will
stay in Illinois with his paramount"
The Ottumwa Democrat says:
In talking to Mr.. VIM. Brown in re-
gard to the facts of the elopement. he
states that his wife left Wednesday morn
ing for Cable, ILL.,, in company with her
father to pay him visit. That he went
to the train and saw his wife and her
father purchase their tickets to Rock ISL
and, about twenty-five miles from their
destination. He does not believe that
his wife has eloped with anybody, and
says it is only contemplate lie and got
ten up for the purpose of revencing pet
ty jealousies that existed between Rob-
erts and his wife. He also states that
nothing ever occurred to make him think
his wife was untrue to him, and firmly
believes he will hear from her soon.
Mrs Brown is doubtless the unfor-
tunate and innocent subject of SANDER,
and if the allegations made by Mrs. Rob
erts are entirely without foundation,
Mrs. Brown has good ground for a suit
for libel. As far as can be learned the
latter lady is visiting at the home of her
parents in Cable.

1t is impossible to form a correct esti-
mate of the assets. but it is thought they

ment claims I'll 900.
Mr.. Champions failure has caused a
great deal of regret in business circles,
and expressions Of sympathy for him
are everywhere heard. He has
been a merchant in Rock Island and
one of the foremost too-for over a
quarter of century, and though re-
verses have overtaken him thrice in that
period, he has conducted business that
was an honor to the city. He has been
progressive and enterprisiug mer-
chant. and an honest purpose to pay
a higher rate on his former debts.
together with disappointment as to the
extent of his holiday trade, has brought
about his present financial embarrass>
ment
Sheriff Silvis has charge of the store on
the strength of executions issued. and it
is to be hoped that after the matter goes
through the process of the law, Mr..
Champion may be able to again resume
business.
